Hey gang-- Now that we've got a new house (and some decent space), I'm setting up a studio to host live call-in practice sessions, and to teach some new material that would take too long for regular scam school episodes.
This thread is your spot to tell me what you'd like to get out of such a supplemental show. Is there particular content you'd like to see? Does the length of show matter? Should there be guests? Would you like to skype in to show me what you're working on? Is it important to you that the show occur at regular times and intervals? Would you be willing to sign up to twitter in order to be alerted when the show's going live?

I don't understand, you want to tape a Q&A skype session and call it a show?
The first "Afterschool detention" (http://www.stickam.com/viewMedia.do?mId=180393261) was epic enough
Chat server down
Technical issues
Excellent co-host, bad guest
Miiiiiinnd coontrol
etc...
Hard to top that one, but please do it on a time suitable to Europeans (though on Friday and Saturday everyone should be alright with being up in middle of the night)

I would definitely watch these :). Could you make a separate twitter feed to alert about new live shows? Or does it have some way for you to make a separate category on your current feed? I would add something like this to my Google Reader but the alerts would get lost in all the other posts that I wouldn't generally read.
Edit: How about covering showmanship. Like how to approach people, keep them interested, and getting the maximum amount of free drinks without them getting irritated. Whatever comes out of this could be distilled into a segment of Scam School.

The live streams have been awesome, if I can't catch them live I watch the recorded archive, but now that you got the tech down with vidblaster, etc, it might be a good time to do this. You should give fair warning on the twitter and the forums what we might need to follow along and skype in to show you us trying. (aka: today you will need a deck of cards and 12 matchsticks, or whatever) so we don't have to scurry around looking for stuff when the live show is on.
